[Best of Show Award]
   Interop Tokyo is one of the largest Internet technology events in Japan and has been held since 1994. The awards are judged by a panel of judges comprised of key people from leading media companies and academics to determine the "Product of the Year".
   The award was given to Votiro Secure File Gateway for its ability to easily reduce the risk of malware spreading within an organization.

[Jury comments]
   We appreciated the fact that it can easily reduce the risk of malware spreading within the organization, as messaging services and cloud storage are now widely used to send and receive data between end-users. We also appreciated the fact that the system automatically reconstructs all target file formats without omission, so that even users without detailed knowledge can use the system without any burden.
   We look forward to more enhancements, such as expanded cloud and file format support and the ability for administrators to track threats, and we are pleased to present the Best of Show Award 2023, Runner-Up in the Security category.

VOTIRO Secure File Gateway focuses on the use of various SaaS platforms for data exchange with business partners and customers in today's business environment, and by strengthening integration with collaboration tools and business applications, users who receive files can safely and securely open them without being aware of the risks involved.
